apparently not. at least not in dc. last time i saw them they were only playing to like 50 people in what was basically......well a room. i'm wondering how well they can fill the troubador which has maybe 300, 400 capacity.

i dont know, the foodhole is pretty damn small...even for the hoards unheard of crust punk bands that frequent the bill...portland is sort of known for booking shows in way too small of venues....
anyone remember the May2003 Against ME! show at the old solidstate on E burnside? kids were climbing all over each other.
or further back, when weezer would play La Luna and people would try to sneak in through holes in the roof.

Two Bay Area shows are going to be sick.
Any and all are invited to come hang out with me, I may buy you a drink if you bring me something cool. Come say hi, I'll be at the front singing every word in Dave Hause's face.

Excuse me senior, but Santa Cruz is still considered the Bay Area. Sure it may be too far for you to travel but don't discount it because of your laziness.
You still want those "arttic shots"? Think they're around somewhere.

Honestly, next time I see you I'm totally bringing a picture of my mom. You will rue the day you ever made a joke about being in any sexual situation with her.
I'm not sure why I'm sticking up for South Bay as I'm more Peninsula born and raised anyhow (there's something to brag about).
Believe me if I could find a job that could afford me the bajillion dollar a month rent in San Francisco I'd probably move there. The only real draw back to the city is parking and hippy biker gangs.

I can understand CVA doing nothing for somebody, as that was my reaction for the longest time, but Paradise is definitely instantly likeable because it actually has copious amounts of melody in comparison.

i wonder how much longer dave hause and the loved ones can ride on dan yemin's dick. they're horrible and i'm tired of sitting through their generic, watered down, hot water music impression. and don't even get me started on shook one's. at least they have the courage to whole heartedly admit that they suck dr. dan's cock.

if you aren't into their style of music, i could see why you would say they were terrible. Why does everyone like them? Catchy as sin. And just curious, did they have two guitars on that tour or just dave?

I could be a big internet dickwad with my answer to this (I've thought of a handful of sarcastic responses already), but I won't. I'll just say that The Loved Ones are amazing at what they do and play louder, tighter and catchier pop-punk than just about anyone in my collection. It's dark without being cheesy. It's deep without being sappy. It's heavy without losing the pop. They're amazing. They were not terrible when i saw them. It's possible they played a bad show, or you just don't like them. I have no idea. But I feel sorry for anyone who can't enjoy The Loved Ones, because they're frickin' sweet.

That's an awesome name. Then, after PIB has left stage for ten minutes after the encore and five people are around, the other dudes from Kid Dynamite should show up. And they go into "Living Daylights" and the room goes crazy.
Oh, I can dream.

meant for this to be in a different post.. the one asking why everyone likes the loved ones.
while i'm here, i'm happy i get to see PIB in less than two weeks but god damn do i wish it was this lineup
i like the shook ones more and more every time i listen to sixteen

Only good thing about Jerry's Pizza is the cheap beer and pizza. It's not great, mind you, just cheap. I went there to catch a friends band and ended up sleeping in some shit motel by the freeway and a strip club (I believe, I was pretty drunk by the time we checked in. It may have just been close to one or the other).
Still, it's the only place in Bakersfield to catch a show really.

Wow...That would almost totally make up for being in Bakersfield.
Shitty town, but that venue gets some cool shows.
Course it's the only venue like that for quite some distance, but it gets good shows none the less.
-Dante

I actually only live close to Bakersfield and it is shitty, but 9 bucks to see the Loved Ones, CiS, and Paint it Black makes it tolerable. Its on a Tuesday night too so hopefully the kiddies wont be around acting like morons.

The Bouncing Souls will be doing a 6 night stint at the Knitting Factory in support of releasing their next record, "The Gold Record". Paint it Black will be playing one of said dates. Other bands announced thus far are Blanks 77, World Inferno, Sticks and Stones, and The Explosion.
